KID FEARS (Amy Ray)
-------------------
NOTES about the chords:
* In the last chorus, where all the voices are tangled together, I tried
to notate it as best I could. Amy's part is on the first line in capital
letters; Michael Stipe's part is below that, in capitals and in parentheses;
Emily's part is at the bottom, in parentheses but no caps. I went through
the trouble of doing this because the songbook is completely useless for
figuring out the end of this song...
* Where it says C, that might often be C(9). Mix it up.
* C(9)=x32033 or x32030; D11=554030 or x54030; Em7=022030
[Key of G]
[Moderate 3/4 time; each chord is one measure]

This is the only tab I have (and you probably already figured this out):

The chord fingerings I use for those four measures are:
022000 022030 | 022200 022000 | x32000 x32200 | x54030 |
If you use these fingerings, you should be able to hear that tab part
in the chords.
